I am following the Microsoft install procedure here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...EXCHG.65).aspx

I have followed each step in this doc, building my servers from scratch on VMware. Everything seemed to work great and according to the doc until I got to the section of creating the Exchange virtual server resource groups. I was able to create all the resource groups mentioned in this doc except one:

Step 3 (Creating the Exchange Virtual Servers), task 5 (Create an Exchange Server 2003 System Attendant resource).

The problem is that when I try to add the new resource, the "type" menu does not have Microsoft Exchange System Attendant in the drop-down list.

I've tried googling this and found nothing for this problem. There is no error message - there just is no such resource available to select in this environment.

I'm wondering if I'm missing a DLL or something.

Did you do step 2 to bring the server online?
That selection may not be available if the server
is offline.
Open Cluster Administrator

In the console tree, right-click the Exchange Virtual Server, and then click Bring Online.
